This issue provides an overview of the state-of-the-art of DFT, ranging from mathematical and software developments, via topics in chemical bonding theory, to all kinds of molecular and material properties. Through this issue, we also celebrate the enormous contributions that Evert Jan Baerends has made to this field.

By state-of-the-art dispersion corrected density functional theory, the complexation properties of a recently synthesized halogen-bonded capsule with about 400 atoms are investigated and predictions for improved binding affinities are made.
